Is it mine?
🚗a car on the path🤔whose is it?🤲give it to a grown-up🤗back to its owner
If it is not yours.
The big ideaIf it is not yours, do not keep it. Give it to a grown-up.

How it works

If you find something you did not bring, it is somebody else's.

Somebody lost it, and they may feel sad.

We do not keep it. We give it to a grown-up, who helps us find the owner.
